The Hermès jump brings together the best show jumping riders on the planet throughout the weekend at the ephemeral Grand Palais in Paris. In French, we call them “track leaders”.

They prefer the English term “course designer” We are talking about these officials who imagine, draw and design a show jumping course. An oxer here, a cross there, a vertical elsewhere, a river, a wall... it comes from them. Ours are not actors but horses and riders.
